There's going to be some fo-shizzle and nizzle in the North when Snoop Dogg headlines the halftime show of the Christmas Day Vikings-Lions game at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.

The game, which kicks off at 3:30 p.m. CT and will be streamed on Netflix, will feature "Snoop's Holiday Halftime Party," as the legendary rapper performs in front of 65,000 fans inside U.S. Bank Stadium and for the millions who will undoubtedly be watching at home.

"NFL, Netflix and your uncle Snoop on Christmas Day? We're servin' up music, love and good vibes for the whole world to enjoy," Snoop Dogg said in a statement. "That's the kind of holiday magic Santa can't fit in a bag.”

The script from the holiday halftime party promotional video begins with the narrator:

"'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the crib,
the stockings hung proper, the vibe feeling big.
As the snow kept on falling, the beat started calling,
from Minneapolis to L.A. where the champs come to play."

Snoop then enters the video: "We're about to light up this Christmas in a real way."
